A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):
Bentley offers vegan options in our grab and go locations and at many of our stations we have vegan alternative options. In our resident dining location we started in 2012 or farm fresh station which is a station dedicated to either a vegan or vegetarian option each day. Also at our Mongolian wok station we have the ability to customize stir fry's for our guests and these can also be vegan. In 2012 we also added at least 6 grains or legumes to our salad bar station daily this gives students an added source of protein. The main dining hall has a permanent vegan section of locally sourced, fresh vegetables and soy products.
